    OMG, congratulations on being engaged!!!! I am a big historical fiction reader. One book I rated 6 stars is The Book Thief; it is so good. You should also read The Boy In Striped Pyjamas and Anne Frank the diary of a young girl

    Congratulations on the engagement!! Also, if you're into historical fiction, I HIGHLY recommend the Christian fiction subgenre. Yes, there are some that are just retellings of Biblical people, but there are also ones where the story follows a fictional character set during the life of the person in the Bible. My favorite authors are Tessa Afshar and Jill Eileen Smith.

    OMG CONGRATS ON THE ENGAGEMENT!!! Also, a Historical Fiction book that had me OBSESSED was The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory. It's a different vibe to the ones you read in this video but it had me in a chokehold the whole time I read it, I highly reccomend!!

    I'm so happy you like historical fiction! It's my favorite genre too. Some of my favorites are Beloved by Toni Morrison, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, and The Book Thief by Mark Zusak. Also, I'd recommend Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand. It's a biography that reads like a historical fiction book

    The Four Winds was my first Kristin Hannah book too! I read it after reading The Grapes of Wrath, which is also about the Dust Bowl and, let me just say, both books absolutely crushed me. I cry over almost every book I read and, while I didn't cry as much as I thought I would when reading Four Winds, it definitely was a book that touched my heart. It's a topic that I feel like we barely even touch on in schools and one that I feel like needs to be talked about more. I'm very glad that I read it and I'm definitely gonna pick up another one of her books soon!

      @ No cause it's literally just glossed over in school! I'm from Oklahoma and tell me why we didn't even talk about it in STATE HISTORY?! I hardly even knew what it was until I read Grapes of Wrath and Four Winds! It was such an important, tragic time in our history and we completely skip over it in school!

    Kristen Hannah is the greatest author of "women's fiction" of all time. I love that she doesn't write them is a feminist mindset, but as real, normal women. def a top 3 author!! ALSO...The Book Thief, Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Beneath a Scarlet Sky, and All the Light We Cannot See are 4 of the greatest historical fiction books of all time
